Priceless

Ok,I promise this is the last one,today,but these are happy tears.

You Got 5 Minutes and a Hanky?

Before I Eat

I confess,it's seems I can't pass through the kitchen without grabbing something to eat? Yes,I am a major snacker. I very seldom eat a meal but I can't stop my snacking. You know,a bite of this or a pinch of that. So when I saw this video of course it must have been made for me(or about me). Thought you might think it was cute too. Are there anymore snackers out there?~Dinah~

The Chimney

There was such a good feeling to this place by the wayside,a feeling of home. I saw the children playing in the shade of the tree's and could hear their laughter. As I stepped closer I could hear the Mother in the house humming an old hymn,I had to step closer and I saw her as she carried her baby on her hip while she boiled beans in an iron pot,in this fireplace,to feed her hungry family. I heard her husbands footsteps on the old wooden porch and heard her call to the children to get a fresh bucket of water from the well for their Daddy to wash up with. The husband came in and slipped his calloused hand tenderly around her waist and gave her a gentle peck on her cheek,I could feel the love between them. Soon Mother hollered "supper" and all came a runnin' to enjoy this fine feast of beans and cornbread and onion and an apple crisp for desert but not before Daddy said the blessing,of course. I stood in awe as the sights and sounds and even the aroma of the food took over my memories and made me long for days gone by. It was time for me to leave now but I'll always remember this family and the love they shared in a time long ago at this place by the wayside even if it was only in my mind.~Dinah~

Good Morning to All

Last evening I went to visit a friend in the hospital and as I stepped out to go to my car this is what I saw. You could see the lightning flashing inside this cloud,I thought it was so beautiful.








And of course my Maggie and Max are also beautiful to me, Have a great day everyone.~Dinah~

I love Fall and can't wait so I just had to share this. Reminds me of when I would put my own young'uns on the bus,aww,those were the days. Click on image to enlarge and hope you enjoy as much as I did.

At The End of the Day

Is anybody happier because you passed their way?
Does anyone remember that you spoke to them today?
The day is almost over, and its’ toiling time is through.
Is there anyone to utter now a kindly word of you?

Can you say tonight in parting with the day that’s slipping fast,
That you helped a single person of the many that you passed?
Is a single heart rejoicing over what you did or said?
Does one whose hopes were fading now with courage look ahead?

Did you waste the day or use it? Was it well or sorely spent?
Did you leave a trail of kindness, or a scar of discontent?
As you close your eyes in slumber, do you think that God will say?
“You have earned one more tomorrow by what you did today".
